Finished BioShock Infinite the other night and on my second playthrough now. It is pure artisical genius. I honestly didn't think it was possible for them or any developer to top the orginal BioShock in terms of its profound impact but I can say that this game does. It is an amazing experience. The second it was over I started playing it again. That's how good it is.

And the ending. Man. It might be controversial to some and it sure will get people talking, but it is probably the greatest and most mind blowing ending to a game I've ever seen. And it has one moment towards the ending that had me smiling like crazy.

Yep. But I think we won't see another one of those for a while. It seems modern theme seems to be most popular now. Console kiddies aren't into historical shooters, and that's the demo the publishers are going after.

If you have a decent (but not cutting edge) PC, you could try the Forgotten Hope 2 mod for BF2 or Red Orchestra (via Steam). Both have been out for several years, and still have decent fanbases (i.e. populated servers). Forgotten Hope covers most European theatres, with the Eastern Front coming soonish. Red Orchestra, is all Ostfront, all of the time.

Unreal game in every sense.

I just picked up the Shock Jockey vigor. These games are like "Atlas Shrugged" as an fps; Ayn Rand, realized!

It's interesting, because there have been a couple instances so far where you are faced with a choice, sort of like harvesting Adam from the Little Sisters in the first game. I wonder if there are multiple endings like the first one?

Just started it this morning about 2 hours in and I am really enjoying it.

Complete success! I send a Kerbal to the Mün (three of them, actually), and returned him safely to Kerbal. Getting back takes way less fuel thanks to Kerbal's vastly higher gravity. My astronauts splashed down in the ocean.

Whew. I can't remember the last time a video game gave me this sense of accomplishment.

I downloaded the demo of Kerbal Space Station and then promptly bought it a few days ago. After several ill-advised launches that saw several Kerbals become acquainted with fire, I've finally achieved fairly constant orbit and made it to the Mun for the first time. I ran out of fuel during the approach and crashed into the surface going 700+m/s. But, I got there! Next step is landing.
